Despite the fact we are enjoying unseasonably warm weather for October, rumours abound that there is a cold snap looming. Some say “bring it on”, others are not so keen. Like it or not, icy conditions on the roads are a hazard and in Northern Ireland we always seem to be surprised by it.

So let’s give some thought to how to be prepared. With regards to your car, having your tyres in the best condition possible is a good place to start so you are less likely to be grounded in freezing conditions. Here are a few top tips to ensure you are prepared for cold weather:

If your winter tyres have been in our ‘tyre hotel’ during the summer it is high time you got them back on your vehicle and give your warm weather tyres a rest.

Top up your screen wash, if you only have water in there it is more likely to freeze

Carry windscreen de-icer in your car for those chilly nights you’ve been out and want to get home quickly and safely. You need maximum visibility from your car windows.

Check your tyre tread and pressure. Think about winter tyres, they give you extra braking distance and improved grip on the road.

Make sure your car lights are all clean and working, replace any bulbs and get headlights aligned if required

Check your brakes

If you get stuck in bad weather and can’t get traction on the road, a good tip is to use foot mats behind the tyres to help get you out of a tight spot.

In extreme freezing conditions carry a spade, some sand and emergency supplies in the boot of your car. Make wise decisions about whether your journey is really necessary.

If you need vehicle tyres checked or your car serviced in preparation for winter, just contact A One Tyres to get your car booked in to our Garage Services Department. For further advice or information call A One Tyres on 028 9269 9107.

According to a recent article in the Telegraph, “over 2.2 million cars failed their MOT test with tyre-related problems last year”. The figures were obtained from Tyresafe. Tyresafe’s Chairman said “It beggars belief that so many motorists can fail their MoT because of unsafe or illegal tyres.”

And right enough, it is an unbelievable statistic that so many drivers have let their tyres deteriorate to such a state that the cars fail an MOT! As the article points out, tyres are so vital to safety on the roads, particularly at this time of year when road conditions can be treacherous. Why do so many motorists send their cars to be tested without checking the state of their tyres themselves or calling in to a tyre depot to get it done for them by the experts?

The A One Tyres’s loyalty scheme encourages customers to come in regularly for a free tyre check. So, even if your car is not going for MoT just yet, you can be confident the tyres are safe and fully legal. For more details just ask at reception.

Each car that comes in for an MOT check with A One Tyres gets their tyres checked as a routine part of the service. If the car needs new tyres we will ensure that the customer knows what their options are. This way our customers are guaranteed that their car will not fail its MoT on tyre-related issues.

In summary, there are a number of simple reasons to ensure your tyres are checked regularly:

safety on the road all year round, but particularly over the winter months

it keeps your tyres legal, avoiding penalty points

your car will not fail the MoT for tyre-related issues incurring extra cost

So next time you are passing our Dromore, Co Down depot, call in and ask at reception to have your car tyres checked, it is an absolutely free service. Should you require replacement tyres our experts will talk through this purchase with you to ensure you get the best tyres for your car taking into account your driving habits.

If you need your car serviced, or prepared for MoT, call Jean in our Garage Services Department to book an appointment. For further advice or information call A One Tyres on 028 9269 9107
